Chapter 1788 - Did They Think She Was a Weakling? (18) (1/2)

Qiao Yiyi halted and turned around.

Only a nightlight remained on, so the room was dim. At that moment, Lu Nanze’s back was to her as he lay in bed. She couldn’t see his expression.

It was hard to tell if there were any emotions involved in this question, what he meant, or what his intent was.

In the few seconds she took to ponder the question, the man grunted impatiently.

She snapped back to her senses and replied in astonishment, “What?”

Lu Nanze asked again impatiently, “Why did you marry me?”

Qiao Yiyi began to curse and swear silently.

Damn it.

You think I wanted to do this?

Everything had been in order to dodge Liang Liang’s relentless pursuit. Because of Bai Anan’s connection with the police chief, she had substantial resources to turn the world inside out to find her. So how could she possibly not try to find a safe place?

Lu Nanze was powerful, hence she had targeted him.

But of course, she couldn’t tell him that.

She lowered her head and coughed slightly. Then she answered, “Because… my family wanted me to marry you, so I did.”

Lu Nanze chortled and said, “Do you think I will actually believe that?”

A smart and eccentric woman like her—a woman who could force Li Tingting to throw up her food—would obey her family so readily?

If she hadn’t wanted to do it, she would have thought of all sorts of ways to resist the arrangement.

But she hadn’t.

Hence, she must have had some reason to marry him.

Perhaps it was a desire for a comfortable and luxurious life, perhaps it was for the money.
